after falling asleep

Chapter 400 140. Mu Si plus Su

"What about the others?"

"Dead." The prisoner answered simply.

"died?"

"He was shot to death by... random arrows." The prisoner lowered his head.The mastermind is dead, so why are they accomplices so stubborn.

King Mu looked at the guard beside him, who shook his head insignificantly.The corpses were simply disposed of, and it was impossible to find out who they were.

King Mu leaned forward slightly, and asked the criminals kneeling in the hall: "You guys still have something to say, without this king, the sentence will be pronounced."

He has other things to do on this trip.A bunch of little thieves are not worth his time.

The others remained silent, and the one who spoke was still the prisoner, who hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, can you spare the life of the villain if you confess to other accomplices!"

"Hu Cheng!" The surrounding prisoners glared at him.Someone wanted to pounce, but was easily subdued by the guards behind him.

"Let's listen to it." Mu Wang put his hands on the table like a palm fan, and leaned back.

The prisoner named Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Situ still has a few accomplices who did not participate in the assassination. They are hiding in the Fei County Appreciation Court... By the way! The previous assassination of Mr. Mu was done by one of the murderers named Wanru." for!"

Musu's ears perked up.

"Oh? And this." Mu Wangrao was interested and waved his hand: "Ah Jiu, how many people can you lead to arrest him?"

"The last general takes orders." The guards behind him folded their hands and obeyed the order.As he walked, his armor clattered, and he left through the back door with several guards.

"Does anyone else have anything to add?" King Mu asked again, seeing no one answered, he continued, "If not, then put them in prison."

The Yamen servants took the rest of the prisoners down, leaving only Hu Cheng alone.

After a short wait, a group of guards came back in a hurry, with three people behind them.

One man and two women.The man is dressed as a beggar, with gray temples and old age.One of the women was wearing a pink skirt, and the other had a cold expression.The three were escorted to the hall.

"A bunch of scumbags. I asked you to find the murderer, but why did you catch the girl here?" King Mu cursed.

The guard's face remained unchanged and he cupped his hands and replied: "Go back to the lord, the girl in the pink skirt is Wanru, and the other two are her accomplices."

"What else?" King Mu sized up the three of them, and said to Musu, "Xiaobenjia, go and see that the one who assassinated you is this person."

Without him saying anything, Mu Su had already got up and walked towards the three of them.

Those bright eyes that were once full of chill, dodge, or shyness are now filled with a layer of lifelessness, without focus.

Musu walked around Wanru for a few times, and suddenly realized that he pointed at her: "It's you—"

As if in response, his eyes gained some focus and fell on Musu.

King Mu leaned forward and asked, "Is this person the one who assassinated you that day?"

Mu Su turned around and stood beside the girl in the pink skirt.

"Go back to my lord, I don't know this person."

Those impressive eyes gradually regained their spirits, and Wanru stared up at the young man beside her in a daze.

"Really?" King Mu was suspicious.

"really."

"really?"

"really."

bang——

Mu Wang slapped the palm of the table again, causing everyone to be excited.

"Hu Cheng, how do you explain it!"

Hu Cheng kowtowed quickly, but he didn't stop when his head was broken.Knocking and yelling: "The villain doesn't know! But the villain dares to guarantee his life, they are my accomplices!"

"That's right, I'm one of the masterminds." At this moment, the cold woman admitted frankly.

King Mu was rather curious at this moment: "Why did you assassinate me?"

The woman replied: "It's not an assassination, but death. Your lord, you travel around the army all the year round, so you don't know how rotten the interior of the Lin Dynasty has become. There was a severe drought last year, and the 50 taels of silver allocated by the court to Sizhou for disaster relief was covered. In the end, only 5000 taels were left. The imperial court paid [-]% of the tax, but these corrupt officials dared to collect [-]% or even more, and divided it up with the local gentry. Even a small county government in Fei County dared to seize tens of thousands of dollars a year. Two silvers. Officials protect each other, and the common people have nowhere to sue."

"It's not that I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Mu Su waved his hands repeatedly.

The woman glanced at it, and said lightly: "Master Mu is an exception, but such a good official Lin Chao does not exist. We died to show our will to tell you, the prince. This time it is us, next time..."

"There are tens of millions of people in the Lin Dynasty."

King Mu pondered, he was in a high position, and all he saw was the prosperous Bingjing and the orderly army.As for this group of people at the bottom...he couldn't see it.Those gentry who cling to Lin Chao's blood-sucking blood will not let him see it.

He asked the officials below: "Do you know about this?"

Seeing the prince looking at him, Mr. Liu sweated even more, and he didn't dare to stumble and said: "Should... there should be."

Talk about offending the gentry, not the prince.

"I have something to say, please listen carefully."

But Mu Su got up at this time, invisible to rescue Master Liu.

Under the eyes of everyone, Mu Su had a sad face, and his head was tilted slightly, as if looking at the sky through the eaves.

"Nowadays in the Lin Dynasty, on top of the temples, rotten trees serve as officials. Between the palaces and majesties, beasts eat their salary. As a result, the tyrants and servile servants ruled the government one after another. As a result, the country became a ruin, and the common people suffered from misery. .”

"Speak in human terms." King Mu shouted.

"Tsk." Mu Su felt that his extraordinary intelligence was naturally incompatible with this kind of martial artist whose head was full of muscles.Impatiently, he said: "It must be wrong to arrest and behead all the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, and there must be someone who slipped through the net if they beheaded every other."

"My Lin country has really reached such a point..." Mu Wang muttered to himself, and then said to the others: "Let's not talk about it at this time. Let's talk about how to deal with these assassins who are 'for the country and the people' .”

Mr. Liu flattered: "These villains are so bold that they dare to assassinate you, the prince. They should be executed everywhere, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Mu Wang's black face was very tangled: "Is it a little heavy, after all, they are considered well-intentioned..."

what is this?Could it be that King Mu wanted to intercede for them?

Master Liu asked cautiously: "This...then what do you think?"

King Mu said angrily, "This king is asking you!"

No one said anything.

King Mu sighed: "Forget it, let's take these people to the Zhizhou Mansion and let that kid deal with it. He's an outsider, so I don't think he will have that troublesome...subjective consciousness."

King Mu used the new words he got from Mu Su, and the words were correct, but he was not as brainless as he looked.

Feng Jianzhang wondered: "Your lord is talking about Mr. Li Xianyuan who came from the Shang Dynasty and was appointed as an imperial envoy by the emperor?"

"you know too?"

"How many people in the world don't know Mr. Li's poems that frighten ghosts and gods. It's a pity that the authentic works are rare, otherwise, even if you spend all your money, you will have to change into a pair."

With a wave of his hand, King Mu made a decision.

At the same time, the transparent bridge sent a message.

[I have a guess, maybe this is the last case. 】
